Getting ready for your BCBA exam? You’re in the right place.
I created RBTExamPrep.com to give you the most realistic BCBA mock exam experience possible 185 questions designed to feel just like the real thing.
My goal isn’t just to help you pass, but to help you understand every concept deeply.
Whether you get a question right or wrong, you’ll see detailed feedback explaining why, so you’ll be ready for that type next time. I want you to walk into test day feeling confident, calm, and prepared.
Many students have shared that these questions felt almost identical to the real exam and that’s exactly what I was aiming for. I’d love to hear how you did please share your score in the comments below! It really helps encourage others who are preparing for the exam. 🙂
I built this site to keep high-quality BCBA prep resources free and accessible for everyone, which is why it’s supported by ads. If it helped you, it’d mean a lot if you shared it with your peers.
If you want to keep practicing, check out the BCBA section for more tests and study materials!

#1. A BCBA is designing an intervention for a client who frequently engages in hair-pulling (a self-stimulatory behavior). The goal is to reduce hair-pulling by teaching the client to squeeze a stress ball instead when they feel the urge to engage in self-stimulatory behavior. Which of the following differential reinforcement procedures is specifically designed to teach a replacement behavior for hair-pulling?
The text explicitly states that The two differential reinforcements that teach replacement behaviors are DRAs and DRIs Differential Reinforcement of Alternative behavior DRA involves reinforcing a desirable alternative behavior while withholding reinforcement for the problem behavior In this scenario squeezing a stress ball is an alternative behavior to hairpulling making DRA the appropriate procedure to teach this replacement behavior Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible behavior DRI is a specific type of DRA where the alternative behavior is physically impossible to perform simultaneously with the target problem behavior If squeezing a stress ball makes hairpulling impossible it would also be a DRI Differential Reinforcement of Other behavior DRO involves reinforcing the absence of the target behavior for a specified period It does not actively teach a new alternative behavior it simply reinforces anything else or the nonoccurrence of the problem behavior Differential Reinforcement of Low rates DRL aims to decrease the rate of a behavior but not eliminate it entirely by reinforcing the behavior only when it occurs at or below a predetermined low rate It does not teach a replacement behavior Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing rates DRD is similar to DRL but involves progressively decreasing the allowable rate of behavior over time It also does not teach a replacement behavior
